Beautiful church full of history in the red light district area. The route covers multiple floors composed by historical, well preserved installations and of course the patio and pulpit. Very useful audio guide included in the ticket. You can also storage your things in a locker while visiting. I highly recommend going during the week and as early as possible, as the rooms are not very spacious and the crowds might interfere in your experience

The best place I've visited in A'dam! Beautiful under every aspect. Unique place to see, nice and interesting audio guide with a lot of info. Fun patch for the kids. Really enjoyed it! Not adding a lot of pictures so the visit is more exciting; living places, the church, the storage area, the organ and all the decorative items to be seen first person!

This is a very interesting museum. It's a house church. Unlike other churches, this Catholic church is hidden inside someone's house. And you will find out why they did this at the museum. It's not a big place, because it's someone's house. But It has everything that a church supposed to have. And people used to conduct mass and services here.

Very well-organized museum. From the audio guild you can learn so much behind the beautiful building and the history

The story and the name of this church: Our Lord in the Attic, truly gives a deep meaning of humility and sacrifice of being a Catholic. We arrived here almost at closing time but the staffs are so kind to allow us to enter the church although we couldn't use the audio guide anymore, and it was a very memorable and touching experience.

This was a really interesting little museum, providing information on the merchant history of Amsterdam as well obviously as the religious history. We didn't book in advance and there was no problem getting tickets. It's fairly small so will take no more than a couple of hours to see at the very most, so I thought the entry price was a little expensive. There is a cafe upstairs and lockers to secure your bags.

Highly recommend this museum! I normally am not too interested in the church. But the hidden church really shows the contrast of daily life and religion. The restoration team also does a really good job on showing all the detail through the guide. The modern facilities like the toilet and cloakroom are clean and nice to use.

Highly recommend this museum during an Amsterdam visit!! Even if you are not interested in the historical impact of the house churches, seeing a canal house on the inside that has much of its original design intact (including flooring, 2 original stair cases, wallpaper, and more) makes this a must see! The free audio tour (in many languages) elevates a visit more than many other museums. Give yourself an hour to go through and listen to all the main stops. Many rooms have optional additional information about the family that lived there, art, and other details. If you have another 20 minutes it is worth it! The church in the attic has to been seen to be fully appreciated! Two levels and a pipe organ! The audio tour provides good information about religious freedom in Amsterdam after the protestant movement and a close up look of the liturgical elements of a Catholic church. Put a visit here at the top of your list!

What an amazing experience here! I didn’t expect something so interesting! To start: I booked the experience a few days before. When we arrived they checked our booking and let us leave our bags in the guardroom (near the toilets). Then the visit began at the souterrain floor, passing through secret rooms, house rooms, until reaching the church on the higher floors. Unexpectedly beautiful! The experience was also completed by the complimentary audioguide. And the workers/ guardians gave also other precious information if you asked. Recommended. This jewel should be more famous.

OK, this is something really special and unexpected - a former ordinary Amsterdam house turned into a beautiful hidden place of worship. At the entrance you get a free audio device which is easy to use and you walk through the converted interior listening to the history of the city and of this special place. Every room inside tells a story about how people can adapt to just about anything in a time of need, but the main worship hall is just breathtaking. You can literally see the floor which was sawed through to make the upper gallery for worshippers and the beautiful altar in the middle. We were there just after Christmas so the place was decorated and gave such a peaceful vibe. The house is in the Red Light District, so it's a welcome rest stop from the busy streets. Definitely a must see.

Beautiful historic church, easy to understand via the audio guides. Great museum experience. As a Christian, I loved visiting a learning about the house churches and the Catholic history in Amsterdam. Brilliant experience, recommended to me by a restaurant manager. Loved this museum.

We visited this place as soon as it opens. It was Sunday afternoon and people are starting to get crowded. So much history to tell from this Attic church. Audio guide is available at no cost. It comes from all different languages. The place is quite small so going through from one room to another can be quite tight when it is crowded. Our visit is wonderful. We stayed as much as we can. Audio guide in various languages are available at no cost. Try to listen to all the audio guide series and some video as an added explanation. There is no small coffee shop at the premises. Small shop is decent. Ticket windows are next to the museum shop. Toilette and lockers are available. It was really an educational visit for us.

Very interesting museum explaining the history of the hidden church. The entrance is not free as advertised on Google maps (currently EUR 16.50) but it's definitely worth it; the whole museum is also much larger than I expected. The price also includes an audio guide.

This was a hidden gem. We found it while looking for things to do before we travelled here. It was one of the most interesting places we went to. After so many museums and so much art work it was great to see something different. The price included a free audio guide and free lockers. The staff were lovely and you learn a lot about Dutch history throughout the tour

What I must say is: what a surprising museum! It’s not very conspicuous on the street, but what inside are fabulous! A lot of things to see, and also for the kids there are special tasks, which made them feel lovely. Very thoughtful and warm. There are also plenty of languages of the audio guides. Super! We will definitely come back again!

Very enjoyable visit. The museum was very easy to navigate, each point of interest is numbered, and the audio guide is very interesting and doesn't feel too exhausting. Definitely a place to visit. The museum wasn't too busy, which was great to easily enjoy the experience.

See the hidden chatolic church in Amsterdam, amazing experience that you never imagine how these people build a house with the church inside at that time All collection are in very good condition. A must visit list when you are in Amsterdam. Just take 15-20 minutes relax walk from Amsterdam centraal to this museum

This museum allows the visitor to catch a glimpse of the life of a catholic citizen of Amsterdam during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Very nice museum with a very interesting history. It feels like going back in time. Staff is very kind and the audio tour is a good addition to make you understand the story of the church.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and surprisingly spacious museum. A must see! The entire museum can be viewed in about two hours. A handy audio tour is available in several languages. This museum offers more than just a unique encounter with a so-called Roman Catholic hidden church. There is also a unique view of the Netherlands in the 17th century. (Original) Mooi en verrassend ruim museum. Een must see! Het gehele museum is te bekijken in ongeveer twee uur. Een handige audiotour is in meerdere talen verkrijgbaar. Dit museum biedt meer dan alleen een unieke ontmoeting met een zogenaamde Rooms-katholieke schuilkerk. Er wordt namelijk ook een unieke kijk gegeven in het Nederland van de 17e eeuw.

This museum is truly a hidden gem. Exploring the old house and discovering its transformation into a nearly secret church was an extraordinary experience. The audioguide significantly enhances the visit, providing fascinating insights and stories. Additionally, the staff were really kind and helpful, contributing to a memorable visit. I highly recommend this museum to anyone looking for a unique and enriching experience!

Beautiful museum! I’m impressed how much can you learn about history and religion around the same time. The staff is very friendly, specially the girl (from Spain) at the reception. The audio guide is included with the ticket. Highly recommended

This is perhaps the most fascinating and truly one-of-a-kind Catholic Church I’ve ever been to. SMALL as it is, it has everything and encapsulates a BIG history. The audio guide is excellent and the view on the top floor is great. A hidden gem, literally, in Amsterdam, it’s very close to the Red Light District. This is Amsterdam that satisfies both carnally and spiritually, in a cryptic way!!

This is a little gem that is worth a visit. You don't have to be a Catholic (or a religious) to visit this place. There are a lot more to appreciate than the church itself. This is private residents, a place of business and a warehouse, as well as a church. The architecture and development of the house was special, remembering that all that was done in the 1600s. Everything was thought of to make it a functioning building for the 3 purposes. You have got to think the work that went into this, and you will be in awe. Booking in advance is not necessary however, can be an advantage.

A neat little find for anyone traveling to Amsterdam. Stands in stark contrast to all the large cathedrals in Europe but has plenty of charm in its little foot print.

Great experience all around, the audio tour was very informative and not boring, the personnel is nice and friendly. A must if you are visiting the city!

Wonderful hidden church in an old house close to the red light district in Amsterdam. The entrance is in a cool new building, where you pay 12 euro to enter and get an overview and a audio guide. There are lockers and bathrooms and a cafe, all air conditioned! The tour of the house is fabulous, the best part is the hidden church which was typical of the 18 century when Catholic church was persecuted by protestants. Wonderful tour, highly recommended, no crowds etc. Don't miss the special art display!

Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder, also known as Lord in the Attic, located at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 38, right in the middle of the city center and red light district is definitely a must see when visiting Amsterdam. It was built as a hidden church on the top three levels of three houses for Catholic worshippers who could not worship in public during the Dutch Reformation. Since it was a hidden church, I thought it would be small and cramped but the actual space for the church was quite roomy and the buildings in which it is housed were very impressive. The restoration of this museum did a very good job in showing how it looked back when the church was in service and at moments, while looking out a window, or standing in the formal room admiring a wall portrait, you could almost feel like you were back in time. Was worth a visit and I plan to return.

Interesting museum right in the middle of the red light district. Lots to see and check out, nice display also. Can see it all in an hour, well worth checking out. Different than other tourist spots in Amsterdam.

(Translated by Google) A surprisingly nice museum. Beautifully built and certainly worth it, here you imagine yourself back in time and you are confronted with our dear Lord on Solder. A 3-storey high church in a warehouse. And those who take the trouble and look outside can enjoy a beautiful view. The audio tour works very well and the staff is friendly and helpful. The photos give an impression, but walk through the building and experience the corridors, stairs, etc. you can really only in the museum itself and if you have the opportunity you really have to do that. The audio tour also provides a lot of useful information. (Original) Een verrassend leuk museum. Mooi opgebouwd en zeker de moeite waard, hier waan je jezelf even terug in de tijd en word je geconfronteerd met onze lieve Heer op Solder. Een 3 etages hoge kerk in een pakhuis.En wie de moeite neemt en even naar buiten kijkt kan genieten van een mooi uitzicht. De audio toer werkt erg goed en het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De foto's geven een indruk maar door het gebouw heenlopen en de gangetjes, trappen enz ervaren kun je toch echt alleen in het museum zelf en als je de gelegenheid hebt moet je dat echt gaan doen. Tevens geeft de audio toer veel nuttige informatie.

Easily one of my favorite museums I visited in Amsterdam. The concept alone places it in the #gem category. I gained a plethora of knowledge about not only the church but the history of Amsterdam. Sadly due to its large number of stairs and narrow hallways, it is not accessibility friendly. The audio guide tour is in several languages and flows remarkably well from station to station. The experience is worth the cost of admittance two times over!

Very interesting place to live the history of the city. Inside the building there is a hidden catholic church, where people used to celebrate the mass during the XVI century-as there was no free of religion. It is well preserved with original interiors.

Unique experience. The exhibit is very nicely done and informative. Highly recommended

Cute museum in the heart of the Red Light District. Very interesting museum with a great audio guide

Amazing place!!! Such a gem! However, the website is terrible. It is impossible to find anything in their collection online. Hence, minus one star.

Very quirky museum hiding a full blown church in the attic. The underlying house gives a glimpse of life in Amsterdam in the 1700s. Highly recommended.

Amazing and beautiful

Very well organized museum with a good audio guide in multiple languages. An exciting 2 hour visit, family friendly and usually no insane crowds. The church in the attic is still a surprise, even if you know it is coming. Don't miss the surprising foldout pulpit!

(Translated by Google) History very interesting .. friendly employees .. unfortunately had too little time (Original) Geschiedenis erg interessant.. vriendelijke medewerkers..helaas te weinig tijd gehad

(Translated by Google) This is a hidden gem. This museum will surprise you incredibly. Completely hidden from view, a three-storey Catholic church was built. In addition, you also view the house of the owner and the residence of the priest. Be surprised and visit this museum. It will overwhelm you. (Original) This is a hidden gem. Dit museum zal je ongelooflijk verrassen. Volkomen onttrokken aan het gezicht is een drie verdiepingen hoge katholieke kerk gebouwd. Daarnaast bekijk je ook het huis van de eigenaar en het woonverblijf van de priester. Laat je verrassen en bezoek dit museum. Het zal je overdonderen .

If you're interested in history, religion, and/or architecture, you've got to visit this musem!! It provides such wonderful insight into how people lived back in the day. I learned so much and really enjoyed all the detail in the included audio tour. The staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable.

A complete church in the attic of an old canal house… This is definitely something you should see! The history of this phenomenon is very well told. Wonderful experience. One word of warning: if you’re less mobile, the steep stairs can be challenging.

Brilliant museum, good for kids not to big and comes with audio tour (free) for adults and a kids version. Very clever setup you really get a good idea what the history was like. Please note the church is on the fringes of the "red light" district..

Incredibly preserved “hidden church” from the Reform days. The history is amazing, especially for those Catholics who may not know about the situation in the 17th-18th centuries. Excellent audio guide, too!

Very interesting place. Not only the church but also the house. You can actually understand how life was looked like in the 17 century

That they gave a little explanation in each of the rooms I entered, I thought it was totally cool. The staff was very friendly and very attentive to the needs of the attendees

My favorite attraction from this trip! I've been to Amsterdam before and seen the popular art museums and sites. This is a hidden gem. Especially if you're Catholic. I had never heard of house churches. Great history and explanations via the audio tour. Each audio stop is brief but packed with information so I wasn't walking around with that thing to my ear the whole time. Beautiful church and one of the guides says they still celebrate Mass the first Sunday of every month. Highly recommended for Catholics, those looking for lesser visited attractions and fans of architecture.

Fabulous, marvellous, and excellent, these are some of the words I can use for the place. The place is very well maintained, and the information about the exhibits is of really good quality. At the entrance, I didn't expect this place to hide such a deep history within its chest. The staff is very helpful, I would recommend this museum

You have to see this church to believe it. It's fun to climb through the stairs to all the different rooms. It's amazing to think that people had to go incognito into a place like this to worship the way they wanted to.

A lot to see, and a lot of history to take-in, but you can also just enjoy the journey through this fascinating building. Be warned: there are a lot of steps. (It actually has a novel system for allowing visitors with mobility issues to virtually accompany a fellow visitor.)

Very interesting! Back in the day, a calndestine Catholic church built in the upper floors of three buildings. The bad review is for the extrict student discount. They chose to make the discount only for international students card holders. I went with a student from the States, and all the museums we visited in Belgium and the Netherlands accept her student id. Bottom line students pay the full price. Edit: they say it is a challenge to identify different students cards from all the world. Funny, it is not a challenge for the rest of museum we visited in the Netherlands that accept any student ID. I guess it is not a callenge for their staff but a benefit for them...

A phenomenally crafted experience. You start in the very modern lobby, put your stuff in a free locker, and then enter the home. The stark contrast of the modern architecture with the well preserved/restored house was a phenomenal entry into the space. The people were lovely and the audio guide was well done. Highly recommend.

Worth the visit

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it here. Such a piece of history should be on the list of cultural heritage. Fantastic audio tour. Worth a visit so go and see. Point of order: these are old buildings so you must be able to walk stairs. (Original) We hebben hier echt genoten. Zo een brok geschiedenis zou op de lijst van cultureel erfgoed moeten. Fantastische audiotour. Een bezoek waard dus gaat dat zien. Puntje van orde: het betreft oude panden dus je moet wel trap kunnen lopen.

Such an important piece of Amsterdam heritage. Beautifully conserved, well explained and very educative. Learned heaps on 17th and 18th century life, even as a Dutch citizen. Support the museum and make the visit. You won't regret it!

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly nice museum, very interesting building and fascinating history! (Original) Verassend leuk museum, ontzettend interessant gebouw en boeiende historie!

Lovely little museum. Well worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Super duper fun. You just have to see it once. Hopefully experience Christmas. (Original) Super duper leuk. Moet je gewoon een keer gezien hebben. Hopelijk de Kerstmis mee maken.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum with great history. Really recommended. (Original) Een mooi museum met geweldige historie. Echt een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) This is a terribly nice place in Amsterdam that you should not miss in addition to the special feature of a kind of hidden church that was not really a secret at the time Do you also have people who can tell nice things completely voluntarily and on their own initiative, our dear Heer in the attic is a small museum in an old canal house But make no mistake There is a lot to see And you can spend at least 45 minutes to an hour In addition, located on a beautiful canal and a beautiful part of Amsterdam so go here (Original) Dit is een vreselijk leuke plaats in Amsterdam die je eigenlijk niet moet overslaan naast het bijzondere van een soort van schuilkerk die overigens in de tijd niet echt geheim was Heb je ook nog mensen die geheel vrijwillig en op eigen initiatief leuke dingen beter te vertellen onze lieve Heer op zolder is een museumpje in een oud grachtenpand Maar vergis je niet Er is veel te zien En je kunt hier zeker 3 kwartier tot een uur doorbrengen Bovendien gevestigd aan een mooie Gracht en een mooi deel van Amsterdam ga hier dus heen

Beautiful piece of history!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum on the east side of the center of Amsterdam. Through all kinds of small corridors and stairs you reach the attic where a beautiful church is hidden. With an audio tour you can wander through the church at your own pace and you get a lot of information. It is a hidden gem, highly recommended! (Original) Prachtig museum aan de oostzijde van het centrum van Amsterdam. Via allemaal kleine gangetjes en trappetjes kom je uit op de zolder waar een prachtige kerk verstopt zit. Met een audiotour kan je op je eigen tempo door de kerk dwalen en krijg je veel informatie. Het is een verborgen schat, een aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Very nice impressive museum with a nice audio tour! Beautiful rooms where different stories are told! Very beautiful hidden church that cannot be seen from a distance! Very nicely made, very old-fashioned but still beautiful! Top! (Original) Heel mooi indrukwekkend museum met een leuke audiotour! Prachtige kamers waar verschillende verhalen worden verteld! Hele mooie schuilkerk die vanaf een afstand niet te zien is! Heel mooi gemaakt, heel ouderwets maar toch mooi! Top!

Small but beautifully done

(Translated by Google) Something imaginable if one doesn't visit it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 (Original) Qualcosa di immaginabile se uno non la visitata 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) Do not miss the opportunity to visit the inside of an old authentic Amsterdam house - to see the interiors, layout and, of course, the view of the canal from the window, it is unforgettable. (Original) Не пропустите возможность побывать внутри старого аутентичного амстердамского дома - увидеть интерьеры, планировку и, само собой, вид на канал из окна, это ннзабываемо.

(Translated by Google) I loved! The audio guide tells you the history of each room as soon as you enter. Super interesting. (Original) Me encantó! La audioguia te cuenta la historia de cada habitación apenas entras. Super interesante.

great secret church

Last time we visited it was in the middle of the renovation. What a great job you did. It's an even more amazing place to visit.

Very interesting place. This is an hidden church ⛪ which is accessible only from the building next to it. I think they still hold celebration once a month or on some special occasion. The audio guide works very well. A place not just for religious interest but also of historical significance.

Hidden Amsterdam gem. Interesting & beautiful history of city in 16°. Excellent facilities, though given nature of museum lots of upper level old staircases! Cafe overlooking canal closed due to Covid but looked lovely.

Friendly staff and cool church in a 17th c building. Very quiet, nice look into the living spaces as well.

Enjoyed a 1 hour long visit to this very unique church. The audio guide is great and tells you everything you need to know about the place. The history of the place needs to be seen to be appreciated.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, impressive what fits in such a house. (Original) Schönes Museum, beeindruckend was in so ein Haus alles reinpasst.

While not the most opulent church, it is spectacular in its context. A gentle telling about the house and it's history on the audio guide that gives the house is historical context and it is interesting to compare with hidden Catholic churches in the UK which had to be secret. A flavour of housing of the era is created.

Worth a quick visit, it is very interesting to see such a lavish, big and beautiful attic area, converted into a Catholic Church. There are also several family rooms recreated, including a couple of the small, short beds that people used to use. They slept propped up on pillows as per the habit in those days, maybe due to believing it was not healthy for adults to have blood drain out of the head area! I visited as part of tour guide Rick Steves free "Red Light District" audio - do a search online to download it!

Cool little museum-church with an extensive audio tour with some period clothing and ornate silver-work. Can be done in an hour or less.

Fascinating. Not only the history but a unique opportunity to see what's in those grand amsterdam houses we see on the canal.

Fantastic modern but short experience. The staff was also wonderfull.

(Translated by Google) I found it very informative and definitely worth a visit :-) (Original) Ich fand es sehr informativ und definitiv einen Besuch wert:-)

Take a ticket from nearby museum. 12.5 Euro per adult, move through underground and move to next building where the church used to residents. Dwell into the secret church and history for 1960s enjoy the life, the reich fashion, the kitchen, the priest life, the altar, the secret liar inside the altar, u cna view the modern St nicholas church from the altar, the old church itself where we stand and the future of Amsterdam through the opposite window the city itself. A lot worth to see in one single place.. A lot of paintings, the art of that period, the have reconstructed it to exactly depict how it was in those days

(Translated by Google) We did not know the museum, but saw a suggestion when we googled museums in Amsterdam. No regrets. Very informative and handy with the audio tour. Wonderful museum!
